Approximately 15% of people living in the UK identify as neurodivergent. But what does it mean to be neurodivergent if you're working in the medical profession?
Joana Rodrigues, Year 5 MBChB student, hosts a lively discussion with two Edinburgh doctors, both of whom were diagnosed with autism in their 40s.
Guests:
Dr Rosie Baruah. Consultant in intensive care medicine and anaesthesia, and Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at Edinburgh Medical School.
Dr Shirley Moore. A former hospital doctor and now a counsellor and psychotherapist, specialising in working with neurodivergent clients.
